Palm Aire Country Club offers one of the best values for golf course real estate in Sarasota. Known for its friendly community, variety of housing options, and excellent location just east of University Parkway, Palm Aire is a smart choice for both full-time residents and seasonal homebuyers looking to live on or near a golf course.
Palm Aire consists of several neighborhoods, including single-family homes, villas, condos, and maintenance-free communities. This variety makes it one of the most accessible golf communities in Sarasota.
As of early 2025, home prices range from the mid-$200,000s for condos and villas to over $1 million for larger estate homes. The median home price is approximately $425,000, with properties averaging 34 days on market due to high demand and affordable pricing.
Many residences back up to fairways, lakes, or mature landscaping. Buyers can find updated homes with open floor plans, private pools, screened lanais, and optional golf or social memberships.
Palm Aire Country Club is semi-private and features two 18-hole championship courses: the Lakes Course and the Champions Course. Both layouts provide scenic, challenging golf for players of all skill levels.
Membership options are flexible and affordable, including golf, tennis, pickleball, and social packages. Amenities include:
